this is off-topic, but I was banned permanently and Udo is a true citizen of 
Schilda.

Probably no. Well, "software cannot be stolen":

But this is only half the truth, there are exceptions, because some thieves 
managed to steal the "Q" drivers:

So I guess the full truth is:

"software cannot be stolen - unless it is written by J.R. Ellis, in which case 
it can be stolen."

Sounds absolutely logical to me.

IMO the "speed" thing is almost a "non-issue". How many users have complained 
about FreeDOS being slow? True FreeDOS problems are: installation not always 
smooth, missing drivers, documentation missing or outdated.
